Do you think warm compresses will work to get yourself out of doing the dishes?

[All_and_Everything_There_Is]

My eyes are prone to stye and it has been my biggest problem because it caused me multiple stye scars on my eyelids. I started doing warm compress this week twice a day (morning and night). My eyes are feeling great right after sessions. Hope this prevents me from ever having a stye again :) Thank you for this very informative!

[debshenai]

Definitly much needed info especially with masks being a large part of my life. I'll watch this one again just to make sure I do this right. Informative and entertaining video!!!!

[lillianleblanc]

Very well done, entertaining and informative. Will be sure to watch more videos from true Focus. Dr. Shenai, will this help minimize the need to use Restasis?

[julietyler]

Thanks for this. Appreciate, warm MOIST heat that spreads better!! Thanks for making a point about this!!! (and yes, I too am always concerned someone will burn themselves! ) Also I think it's great you mentioned the blur....

Hello from Canada, Thank you for an informative and very clearly expressed video on the use of the heat compress for the eyes. Great tip about the foggy part. I massaged as suggested and all I can say is wow. It works. No more foggy eyes after 5-10 mins after the heat compress for 6 mins the first time. I will continue adding to this comment a week from now . I am sure my dry eye problem will be fine. I have both narrow angle and wide angle glaucoma and the eyes get pretty dry. So my fabulous optometrist asked me to use this compress. thks to youtube this doc covered it laced with much needed humor. rhks for the video and the good tips

"A few moments later"... was that Rob?! Great video!

[MommaBearsCorner]

these are nice. especially those who get clogged up tear ducks or plugs get clogged. I recently got an electric, computer cord type of heat pad system and its been great too. works off same dramp method too

[theresas.]

I love doing these. I just have to need to do them on a regular basis.

[marilyncurry]

I used to love to do these and for some reason have not done them in awhile. I have a real problem with dry eyes I guess I should get a new mask and start doing it again.

[jyotidatta]

Informative n helpful.
Can I apply warm compress for my 11 year old daughter to treat stye?

[Jes-ghzy]

I have pellucid marginal degeneration in one eye, is it safe to do warm compresses ?

[anfieldliverpool]

Dear Doctor, recently I having dry eyes because my eyes does not produce an oil (lipid) layer. I am using preservative free eye drop. I have one question in my mind, is it safe to use preservative free CATIONORM eye drop everyday throughtout my life? Your reply Doctor is highly appreciated and thank you in advance! Have a nice day ahead…

I started using hot compress for my dry eyes (recommended from my optometrist to unclog the glands), my eyes do get a bit red after and was wondering if that was normal ? I 'm guessing it's because of the heat but I wanted to make sure it wasn't make eyes worse. Thank you !

[MT-pftz]

I have a stye (just got it. Couple of days ago, it seems to be turning to a cyst/chalazion). The warm compress seems to be making it worse or not really helping. The bump is still tender. I have been taking cephalaxin and the pain is subsiding but the bump is still present. Should I stop the warm compress or continue? I’m afraid if I don’t do it the lump will be permanent and turn into a chalazion.

Hi i am suffering from recurrent corneal erosion for about a year now . Do u think using this before bed time can help me prevent getting an erosion .

[buckets]

The washcloth gets cool very rapidly. It certainly doesn't remain warm for 5 to 10 minutes. So, what then?

[rayboyer]

I have a corneal condition in my right eye caused by a epiretinal membrane making my vision potential correction 20/30. apparently, its a fold in the retina on the back wall though sounds small at this time but noteworthy for risk potentials during surgery. this may be two separate issues but on the same paper so I assume the same thing. So warm compresses ok with this or do I need doctor approval?

[kalaikarthi]

Can we do this while we having Keratoconus 😕😕

[mohammadjaved]

From 2, 3 months i am feeling burning sensation in my eyes
